I have a 1 GB PNY brand SD card. I put it into my MacBook & info says only 580mg available but the card is empty. I had some data on the card but no long needed the info so deleted everything without any change in the available space on the card. What's up? Is it Yosemite? Is it the card?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
With the SD card installed, did you empty the trash? When you move a file on an external memory card to the trash it is put in the trash folder on that memory card. It stays in the trash folder until you empty the trash (when the card is connected to your Mac).
Thank you! I had previously deleted the photos, ejected the card & then emptied the trash later that day. Was not aware the pics were still somewhere hidden on the card unless you empty the trash while card is still there & card open. Learned something new. Awesome!! :-) If all my computer issues could be solved so easily! LOL
I don't expect you to see a trash folder on the memory card.
Duane, Thank you for taking the time to address my question. I do not see any trash folder on the memory card. The card appears to be completely empty. I opened the SD card but strangely(?) the toolbar at the top never changed from Finder to "NO NAME" (the name of the SD card).
Great! Glad that I could help. 🙂
macbook SD card info says 1/2 full but card is empty, what is going on?
